Parkinsonism Relat Disord. 2023 Sep 7;115:105848. doi: 10.1016/j.parkreldis.2023.105848. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Brain hypometabolism patterns have been previously associated with cognitive decline in Parkinson's disease (PD). Our aim is to evaluate the impact of single-subject fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-PET brain hypometabolism on long-term cognitive and motor outcomes in PD.METHODS: Forty-nine non-demented PD patients with baseline brain FDG-PET data underwent an extensive clinical ... read more
